Description
A Cornish mariner and scrap metal dealer, Alfred Wallis was self-taught and started to paint in around 1925 following the death of his wife three years earlier. His simple and direct style communicated a truth of experience that also came to personify the overriding character of St Ives as an art community that valued his authenticity of expression. This book brings together the contents of three sketchbooks with an introduction by curator Andrew Wilson.
